MAAP - Michigan Association of Apnea Professionals - was a tax-exempt professional organization whose purpose was:

The history of MAAP goes back to the 1980s, the decade during which infantile apnea monitoring came out of the research lab and into the home environment. In 1981, in an effort to impose some structure and order to the burgeoning use of this new technology, MDPH's DCSS released the case Management Protocol for the Medical and Nursing care of the Home-monitored Child. The NIH Consensus Statement on Infantile Apnea and Home Monitoring was published in 1986. Following this, MDPH, together with University of Michigan and Michigan State University, convened the Ad Hoc Task Force on Apnea. This initial meeting, held in Ann Arbor in 1987, eventually led to MAAP's First Consensus Statement on Infantile Apnea and Home Monitoring in 1989. Subsequent editions were released in 1992, 1994 and 1998.

Its members were physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists and home medical equipment personnel who worked with families and patients with apnea and related disorders. It was a leader in establishing a consensus on infantile apnea. The Consensus Statement on Infantile Apnea was developed through a collaborative effort of pediatric apnea specialists, other health care professionals and Michigan's Children's Special Health Care Services. This initiative promoted quality, cost-effective services for children with special health care needs and was supported by the Michigan Department of Public Health.

With the success of the AAP's Back to Sleep campaign and the decline in number of babies on home apnea monitors, membership declined in the 2000s. MAAP was officially disbanded in 2007. These pages have been moved here from MAAP's original web site for primarily historical interest, however the Consensus Statement still contains valuable information on handling babies with apnea. Although many of the members and institutions listed still care for babies on home apnea monitors, some of the original information on the MAAP web site may be outdated and has been deleted here.
